there is absolutely nothing in florida that makes it worth living there
Florida is like an old used car: cheap upfront costs but expensive maintenance costs.
Florida is like an old used car: cheap up front costs for a dangerous vehicle that you know will eventually fall apart but you act surprised when you lose a ball joint in your front suspension on the highway while doing 120 kph because you ignored your mechanic for the fourth time this year. The look on your face as your car crosses the median and you’re about to impact a cement truck.
Alligators tell me otherwise. In fact, they tell me they look forward to having it back to themselves soon.
They do have a first-class spaceport… Watching a rocket takeoff from there would be the only reason I ever go to Florida.
Insurance companies in the US have become a Ponzai scam instead of a service.
is that a meme or did you accidentally butcher the term “ponzi scheme” which is something entirely different? not saying insurances aren’t often a scam. just a different kind.
I modified it slightly to suit the situation.
Why do you not think a Ponzai scheme fits?
Because a Ponzi scheme revolves around paying past people with fresh money without using it as promised at all.
Insurances (when fraudulent) collect money but don’t pay out anyone unless forced by lawsuits. Ponzi schemes are s vers specific financial tactic.
I’m perfectly fine letting Florida handle Florida’s problems.
Naw people hate that turd. Only reason folks think that is because he says the same stupid shit as Trump. But Trump is one of a kind in the crazy camp, can’t reproduce.
You’re right. There is no one “better” than trump at… whatever it is he does.
Someone should point out to most of the right wingers that FEMA is socialism
If your insurance only covers 50% of the property value it is essentially useless.
This is absolutely insane.
Ah so just purchase more insurance for the things the insurance I already pay for doesn’t cover?
My in-laws learned this the hard way after a total loss fire. Their insurance covered the current value of the house, not the cost to move/replace it in a total loss scenario, so now they have a big mortgage for their new house when the old one was nearly entirely paid off
50% of a seven-figure number is still at least a six-figure number. Very useful, definitely not essentially useless. If you disagree, please give me six figures, which you apparently don’t need, so I can test the theory.
Who could have seen this coming?
If only climate scientists had warned us 50 years ago we probably could have done something.
